It has been a while

And you may wonder what we have been doing...well, we've been enjoying the summer.  Since April, Jamison needed one more platelet transfusion, his platelets dropped to 5K, but he rebounded like a champ.  We've just been staying home and playing outside in the mornings...it's too hot out to play in the afternoon.  Cole turned THREE!  I can't believe he's already three.  He's 40 inches and 40 lbs.  

Jamison just has his first post-chemo check up.  He is still clear.  We are so fortunate.  I realize this can change in an instant, but for right now he is still cancer free.  He didn't have any seeds or tumors show up and there was no need to treat him with laser or cryo therapy.  His next appointment is in September, so until then we will enjoy the rest of the summer.  It is a critical appointment because the chemo will be completely out of his system and if something is going to grow it will likely start by then.  His eye doctor feels like his right eye should be fine since he never had fluid or seeds.  She will still be watching it very carefully, but it's his left eye she is more worried about due to having both seeds and fluid.  He also has his second MRI scheduled for Sept. 

We're actually planning to go up a couple days early and take the boys to Sesame Place and enjoy ourselves a little since Jeff had to use his vacation days for Jamison's appointments.  We would have to fly up Monday anyway, so I said let's fly up Sunday on the early morning flight and go to Sesame Place for a couple days, then head to *hopefully* the Ronald McDonald House and then to his appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We're bringing Cole with us this time.  

Please keep praying because it is helping. :)
